Seriously, was there any video back in the 80s more cool than this?

What about a little Burning Sensations?

O M G. I had so completely forgotten about "The Belly of the Whale". For years and years I searched for that song / album / etc (pre internet) and NEVER found anything. I finally gave up and forgot about it. Sure its a silly little whimsical song, but back in the early 80s it hit me the right way and I liked it. Thank you for posting this. It is now part of my video collection.

There are other songs that took a very long time to finally "find" because I didnt remember enough about them when they were on the air twenty years ago:

The Carpenters - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. The orginal video wasnt on youtube but I do have it.

Ultravox - Reap the Wild Wind

Soft Cell - Torch. It was love at first sight when I saw a blue eyed girl during a party, and that song was brand new that weekend. I was about 13 and never saw her again, but I had our song we danced to. :heart:

Gary Numan - Shes got claws. I had all his albums and the song, but I had to wait for the invention of YouTube to FINALLY get the video.
